A Christmas Miracle!

So, tonight we went to the store for this:



But came home with this:



Only a dollar a bag! Merry Christmas to ME!

Med School update

The semester finally finished, so I can give some attention to my poor little blob. A lot has happened since last update post, here's the skinny: Went to Ohio State, was very impressed, the interviews went well. Two weeks later I heard back from them--I got accepted! This was a huge weight off my shoulders because now I know that I will be going to med school now no matter what. All that remains to be seen is where.

I interviewed last Thursday with Duke via Skype. Kind of a strange experience having the interview by online video conference, but it actually worked out pretty well. I spoke with the assistant dean of admissions for an hour and forty minutes, and it was a great conversation. I felt like we got along well and that I was able to respond well to the questions he asked me.

I also found out last week that OHSU (Oregon) would like to interview me in January. More to come on that. Still no word from Stanford and Johns Hopkins, nor any further word from Utah. Chances are I'll be hearing back with decisions from Utah and Duke at the end of February or early March.
